Doityourselfincrimination: $1 per CD goes to the PCC Farmland Trust
Local musician and PCC member Mike Theiss will donate a portion of the profits from the sales of his new release "Doityourselfincrimination" (©2006, Vampidemic) to the PCC Farmland Trust. Mike plays every instrument on the CD, which he describes as "horn-heavy instrumental funk with a jazz vibe." He also arranged, produced and mixed it.
Mike says endorsing the work of the Trust in such a personal way is due to his belief that "supporting local organic farmers is essential to maintaining our local food supply." "The more I learned about the Trust and its work to save Washington state farmland, the more I wanted to find a way to help," Mike says. “I thought this would be a great way to inform people who may not have heard about the Trust's work and encourage them to support it, too.” You can buy the CD for $12 or get more information at miketheiss.com.
